Lowell, Boston police examine links in crimes

Both Boston and Lowell police are searching for three suspects involved in armed robberies over the past several days and are investigating whether it is the same trio responsible for all the crimes.

There have been a series of five armed robberies that took place between last Thursday and Tuesday in Boston, according to a press release.

"In each of the incidents, one suspect armed with a black firearm and two accomplices enter the store and demand money from the registers and safes," a Boston Police Department release stated.

The suspects robbed the following locations in Boston:

* Thursday, Nov. 2, 10:40 p.m., Fairmount Avenue, Hyde Park

* Saturday, Nov. 4, 10:04 p.m., River Street, Hyde Park

* Saturday, Nov. 4, 10:29 p.m. South Street, Roslindale

* Sunday, Nov. 5, 11 p.m., Warren Street, Roxbury

* Tuesday, Nov. 7, 9:30 p.m., Belgrave Avenue, West Roxbury

The suspects are described as black males between 25 and 30 years old, "wearing hooded sweatshirts pulled over their heads and faces, latex gloves, ski masks, and bandanas."

Armed robbers made a stop in Lowell Monday night at Pleasant Liquors, located at 358 Mammoth Road.

The suspects entered the store around 8:45 p.m. armed with at least one handgun and robbed the clerk of an undisclosed sum of money, a press release from Capt. Jonathan Webb stated. They then ran from the store and were last seen on East Meadow Road, the press release stated.
